Nominations for the Thetford Business Awards are now open after organisers launched its 2023 event.

"It was great to see such enthusiasm towards the next awards and dinner already scheduled for March 31, 2023 at Hockwold Hall."

Two new categories have been added to the 2023 awards - 'Workplace Wellbeing' and 'Local sports club/business' - replacing previous categories 'Innovation' and 'Environmentally friendly'.
